There are plenty of people who want to write in Rust for the fun of it. But I'm not aware of too many people saying that you should avoid writing a web application in java/python/js in favor of rust. Pretty much the only people being told to stop doing what they are doing are the people starting new projects that process untrusted data in C and C++.

You and your parent are saying slightly different things with regards to web dev; they said there's enthusiasm for doing it, not that you shouldn't write web applications in those languages.
Someone can think it's fine to write a web application in java/python/js and Rust.
